PROCOL HARUM + journey2freedom + 2-4 MVI_4453.MOV

Former Procul Harum drummer Bobby Harrison made rock history with the organist who co-wrote their mega hit that is more played in Britain than Bohemian Rhapsody.

Forever young Harrison performed 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' for the first time with keyboard player Matthew Fisher since the late 60s at a gig at Rayleigh parish church, Essex in August 2010.

The song held number on spot for six weeks in the UK singles chart in 1967, its Bach-flavoured melody composed by Matthew Fisher, who also co-wrote The Wreck of the Hesperus, Long Gone Geek, Glimpse of Nirvana, and Quite Rightly So, with other members of the band.

Bobby Harrison, filmed here in an English-theme pub in Rekjavik, Iceland, tells Matthew Fisher about his life and times as set out in his newly published sex, drugs and rock n roll autobiography Journey to Freedom.
